Matthew Jackson 94a876664b Correct six stale comments and doc claims
All six describe code that does something different from what they say, which
is the class of defect that gets a maintainer to write a bug on purpose.

docs/clpi.md presented the CLPI stream-PID entry as byte-aligned 2/2/2/4/4-byte
fields with a 32-bit fine-entry count. It is one 80-bit packed block —
reserved(10) + EP_stream_type(4) + num_EP_coarse(16) + num_EP_fine(18) +
EP_map_start_address(32) — and num_EP_fine is 18 bits. Anyone parsing to the
doc's offsets would read garbage. Replaced with the real bit layout.

docs/udf.md said read_directory()'s recursion cap is 3; MAX_DIR_DEPTH is 8.

TROUBLESHOOTING.md called Pass 1 `recovery::copy`. The engine's `sweep` is
documented as "Pass 1 of a multipass rip"; `copy` is the dispatch verb that
chooses between sweep and patch. This inconsistency was mine, introduced in the
1.6.0 doc rewrite. docs/drive-access.md already said `sweep` and was right — a
round-2 finding claimed the opposite on the grounds that `recovery::sweep`
appears nowhere else in this crate, which it cannot, being in another crate.

io/pipeline.rs cited `disc::patch` as WRITE_THROUGH_DEPTH's caller; that moved
to freemkv-engine in 1.6.0 and no `patch` exists here.

truehd.rs's doc on mlp_major_sync_crc_ok said the trailer is compared
big-endian while the body compares u16::from_le_bytes — and a big-endian
compare was the bug the function was fixed for, so the comment described the
defect rather than the code.

sector/decrypting.rs claimed the decorator owns "the only mutable state (its
call-count cap and spent flag)". DecryptingSectorSource has no such fields and
no KeyFetch field at all in this revision.

libfreemkv Documentation

Technical documentation for libfreemkv, the open source optical drive library.

Start Here

Disc to Rip: End-to-End Flow — How the library goes from a disc in the drive to decrypted content. Read this first.

Reference

Document What it covers
Architecture Module map, design principles, error codes, platform support
Drive Access Drive, SCSI transport, profiles, unlock, why raw mode is needed
Rip Recovery What this crate owns of the recovery model: single-shot Drive::read, SenseFamily, DiscStream batch halving (the strategy itself moved to freemkv-engine in 1.6.0)
AACS Encryption Key resolution (4 paths), content decryption, bus encryption, SCSI handshake
UDF Filesystem UDF 2.50 with metadata partitions, pointer chain, how files are read from disc
MPLS Playlists Playlist format, play items, STN stream table, coding types
CLPI Clip Info EP map (coarse + fine entries), timestamp-to-sector mapping, extent calculation
API Design Stream API design, PES pipeline, input/output resolution

Reading Order

If you want to understand the whole library:

  1. Disc to Rip — the big picture
  2. Architecture — how modules fit together
  3. Drive Access — how we talk to hardware
  4. UDFMPLSCLPI — how disc content is structured
  5. AACS — how encryption works and how we break it
